Sennheiser is offering a trade-in program of sorts for your old headphones. Whether “new, old, broken or used” all you have to do is choose the style of headphones that you want to purchase, fill out their form, gather up your old headphones and mail them in. The trade-in value depends not on the style of headphones that you are sending in, but on the style that you are getting from Sennheiser. The value will range from $5 for Street Earbuds up to $25 for Noise Canceling models. So if you were thinking about replacing those nasty or broken headphones, Sennheiser may be worth checking out. The trade-in offer is valid from April 1 through July 31.

Nothing too overly exciting about noise canceling headphones, even Bluetooth ones, at CES, except for the fact that it seems like no one has actually seen these great looking HP noise-canceling Bluetooth headphones at CES which would tend to indicate that they are still with the FCC for approval.

From the picture they look more than your typical headphones with the ability to control your MP3 player via some pretty easy to use buttons from the look of things. So for now picture only, but hopefully we will soon see them out in the wild.

From tattoos to body piercings, we all do things to make ourselves different than everyone else. Take one look around Central Park in New York and you will see just how different we all are… So you may be asking yourself, “What if I’m the type who cringes at needles and would rather die of humiliation then dye my hair?” How can you be different without having to permanently look different. The answer can be found on your chest...and at your favorite concert hall. The “T-Qualizer Music T-shirt” could be your haven for the individuality that you seek. With a built in music sensor and a 1980s retro-colored equalizer logo, you’re ready to hit the streets. As your walking and you come in contact to music or any constant noise, your shirt will react and the equalizers will literally fluctuate in an upward and downward motion. Made from 100 percent cotton and with a detachable battery pack (for washing safety) you can have your shirt do the dancing for you.
